Is the BA compiled against it too? As I recall, the MBA stuff is strong-name signed so a managed BA will fail to load against a locally-built MBA core.

It's a judgment call as to whether a particular change needs to go through an official build. Some do, certainly, but most don't. A custom action change is unlikely to be affected by anything related to a managed BA build, for example, though it might be affected by being run in a bundle with a managed BA -- theoretically, anyway; I wouldn't bet money on that. :) In this case, an easy workaround would be to build the .msi with the updated CA from a local WiX build but build the MBA and bundle from an official build. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
